LOL :D.

So how many of you people (Greek-speakers) read Greek?

garbitsch Cypriot is a dialect but so many people say it is so different from standard Greek that is might as well be a language :!: Greeks from Greece barely (if at all) understand us.

I speak standard Greek and Cypriot dialect, although when speaking naturally without much thought I speak proper Greek, which I've been told is a good thing. Cypriot is so funny though, it makes me laugh. It's cool!

ANd hey, why not speak in Turkish too!

Leon :D :D.

I say in the spirit of Cypriot trilingualism that every post should be written in English, Greek and Turkish... :lol:

Watch the number of posts dive as a result... :P

Hi celicakiase-7,

The only "club" I can help you with is www.dragster.com.gr
even though this is a Greek site it gives you info about dragsters in Cyprus and the cars etc etc.
